North American B/RB-45C Tornado

There aren't any pictures I can find like that that are more detailed. However, I found this.

It's the 1:72 kit of the Tornado. If you look on the left, you have a more detailed pit layout. On the far left and right you have the control panels. The second pic is of the side so you have the other controls that would be in the pit. I think the one large piece that is raised is the bombardier's position in the nose. It might be a bit of tricky patchwork, but I hope it helps. This next one is a zoom out of the tree for the kit.

Here's one of the thing assembled to give you an idea of color.

Here's a picture from above the plane that might help.

Now, I don't know how helpful this one will be. It's a cutaway of the XB-45. As you know, there was quite a bit of revision between the XB-45 and the B-45A. Still, it might be useful...

And just in case you want it, here's a great shot of the tail. It looks like the Backbreakers when they were getting their rear guns fixed up.

It's a pleasure and a challenge to help. It keeps me on my toes since the B-45 is a very rare plane and there's not a plethora of info on it. If there's anything else I can do, let me know. Oh yeah, glad to hear that you are making both B-45A's. I can't wait.
